Description
VTCT Level 3 Electrical Epilation Course
The course lasts four days. If you feel that you need ‘top-up’ training, you are welcome to return and attend another electrolysis course.
This VTCT Level 3 Electrical Epilation Course allows you to be fully equipped to become a professional Electrologist. Electrolysis hair removal is the only official method approved by the FDA that achieves permanent hair removal
This is a fully accredited VTCT Level 3 Electrical Epilation course which will enable you to gain insurance and to practice at a professional level.
A very fine needle-shaped electrode, or metal probe introduces an electrical current into each hair follicle to destroy the root, and this can be galvanic, thermolysis or blend.
It has the best track record. Electrolysis has the best overall results (on small areas), versus any other method, in getting rid of hair for longer periods of time if not permanently.
All skin types and hair colours can benefit. Unlike IPL (intense pulsed light) it does not target pigmentation (this determines hair and skin colour), but attacks and works to destroy the hair follicle itself.
The correct techniques and applications are taught professionally so that you are qualified to deliver a tailor-made treatment to the face and body.
This certification will allow you to progress onto the Level 4 Advanced Electrolysis.

About The AATT

The AATT Mission Statement
We acknowledge that our students sometimes like to come back for further practice in a working environment. The AATT provides this FOC to any student who has studied a course with us and would like further practice or a refresher.

FAQ's
If you do not find dates that suit you, we will create extra dates to suit you, weekdays or weekends. We offer Private One to One Training for those who have religious and cultural requirements.
Your training days will teach you all of the practical and theory needed to pass this accreditation.
- Once you have been registered with the VTCT, you will receive your NVQ pack which will include questions and assignments to work through to cover all the theory that you will need to know, this is studied AT HOME or AT THE ACADEMY (to be set by your Tutor).
- Case Studies and further treatments will need to be carried out on models and other students to gain the experience you need, and this should be recorded using a 'treatment plan' with photographic evidence as and where necessary. In your workbook, there will be units which cover a wide range of conditions and clients. This criteria will need to be met.
- Once you have completed the written assignments, case studies, and portfolio building (a folder to hold all the information with colour coded dividers), this is then cross referenced to your assessment book.
- Once your portfolio and assessment book is complete, you will need to send it (we recommend recorded delivery just in case) or bring it to us here at the Angel Academy for marking. It is always an idea to keep a copy of your work for revision. This process will involve an Assessor/Tutor and an IQA so allow a minimum of 6 weeks for marking.
- If anything is missing, you might be asked to re-submit some additional information or case studies, there is no charge for this. If your complete portfolio needs to be returned to you, you will be charged postage at £8.00, unless you come to pick it up yourself.
- When your portfolio is signed off, you will be invited to attend an assessment session. The first day will consist of multiple choice tests (depending on the units) and you will be expected to achieve a minimum of 70% to pass the first part. The second part can be done via oral questioning and will take you to 100%. The multiple choice tests will either be by way of an exam paper or will be completed online with a computer/laptop. Following this you will perform a series of practical assessments. Here you will have to perform each treatment fully and in a commercially viable time for each unit that you wish to be accredited for.
- The units you are being assessed on will affect the time you will need to be here so be prepared.
You will be expected to attend a session, if requested, where an EQA will be here with us. As part of your supervision and accredited learning, this session will also have an Assessor, and IQA present. This is part of the examination process.
Your Portfolio
- You will be given full instructions on how to put your portfolio together. If you work through the portfolio and assessment book step by step you will have completed all the necessary work to submit your portfolio to us.
Assessment Book(s)
- An Assessment Book is given by the Academy which you will need to cross reference to once your portfolio is complete.
- The Assessment booklet(s) will show you the Performance Criteria with a range which will need to be covered. Some sections of the booklets are completed by the Academy assessor and Internal Quality assurance verifier and others you will need to complete yourself once you have completed your portfolio. The pages you need to complete are known as the Range pages and the Essential Knowledge & Understanding pages (EKU).
- The Essential Knowledge and understanding section in your assessment book(s) and your training manual(s) will help with your revision. The essential knowledge and understanding requirements highlighted in white are assessed by a multiple choice test paper. The manual(s) should have all you need in them to complete your assignments.
Submission of Portfolios
- Your portfolio can take time to be marked and confirmation of this sent to you via email or text.
- We are aware of the time you will spend on your portfolio and we will also need to spend a lot of time reading it and assessing it before we can put you forward for the next available assessment session. We hold assessment sessions every other month in our Academy. The sooner you send in your completed portfolio the sooner you will be allocated an assessment date.
- The date and time of your Assessment visit (IQA and EQA) will be confirmed to you only after we have received your portfolio and it has been marked and signed off.
- A student who has an assessment must attend on the assessment date given "unless there is a family bereavement or illness where a doctor's note must be shown". This is for external verification sampling purposes.
- Depending on how many units you are being assessed on, you may be required to attend for 1 day or more.
- Students can bring their own client. We also provide models on days booked in advance.
- This can be downloaded from the VTCT website: vtct.org.uk
